Unfolding of population structure in Baltic sheep breeds using microsatellite analysis

Article Abstract:

Studies of genetic diversity in domestic animals are based on an evaluation of the genetic variation within breeds and genetic relationship among them. Combining this genetic population with phenotypic and aetiological data would enable formulation of the most informed recommendation for gene resource management.

Reduced genetic structure of north Ethiopian cattle revealed by Y-chromosome analysis

Article Abstract:

Five Y-chromosome microsatellite markers from seven north Ethiopian cattle populations is analysed to assess the paternal gene pool and to explore the mechanisms behind the genetic structure. It is found that there is common but limited strong male-mediated gene flow among paternal origin of the north Ethiopian cattle populations.
